PHOTO: Justin Bieber gets tattoo of mother's eye

Justin Bieber's mother may be turning a blind eye to some of his recent antics, but she's not going anywhere now that she's been immortalized on his skin.

On Wednesday, the pop star took to Instagram to show off his latest tattoo, an image of his mother Pattie Mallette's eye. The 19-year-old captioned the photo, "Mom's always watching." Bieber commissioned tattoo-artist-to-the-stars Bang Bang for his new piece, adding to his rapidly growing sleeve of art that already includes a knight in body armor and a tiger.

During her press tour last week to promote her new book, Pattie chimed in on the criticism surrounding her son. She told the ladies of "The View" that she'd agreed to give Justin more space after he turned 18, and that she does her best to "encourage him to stay true to who he is."
